Her decision causes quite a stir... from her aunts who believe her magic is something to be proud of and should be nurtured; to Llandra, who doesn't believe Sabrina will go through with it; and especially Shinji, concerned that Sabrina's anti-magic stance will put The Four Blades movement in jeopardy! All this opposition simply strengthens Sabrina's resolve... but will she be happy with the results?"
